"Our once heartfelt talks had turned into bickering," she writes of their almost year-long relationship. "We had to make a choice. It was the middle of December in New York, and I felt cold all the time. We met up at his place. His house—his family’s home—was just across the bridge from my family’s home on the narrowest hill in Albany, tucked away behind a makeshift garden. I’d always have to mind my steps when entering, one foot after another. It was the place where he’d grown up, filled with childhood photos, memories of their past, and reminders that I was an outsider being invited in. That night, he made the choice for us with a simple but painful cliché: 'Let’s be friends.' Fast-forward three years to the middle of the pandemic. It was June and I was having what felt like a euphoric day. I texted him: 'I decided I’d take you up on your offer to be friends.' Four hours passed before he texted back. I was in my Brooklyn apartment, and he was still in Albany. I was planning a trip home to spend lockdown with my family back in Troy, a city in upstate New York that was just 15 minutes from him. We chose a date to meet up in a park. We had picked up some lunch and we talked for hours, sitting on the grass." Tap the link in our bio to read more. Illustration by @nataliejhane.」2月13日 2時55分
